P.J. Hairston still confident after miss

Posted Mar 11, 2012
UNC freshman P.J. Hairston was sure his shot was going in. He got a good look. It felt good coming off his hand. It had a good line.And although he said it was “the worst feeling in the world” when his game-tying 3-point attempt thudded off the back of the rim -- securing Florida State’s 85-82 victory in the ACC tournament championship Sunday at Philips Arena -- it didn’t take him long to regain his confidence.
